"RealmShift" - A Race Against Time And The Devil

"an inventive and action-packed story set in the shadow land where the supernatural and the mundane meet head on""a gripping, thought-provoking tale that evokes a strong response within the reader""a novel I am loath to put down. A most surprising read. Quite a ride."

"RealmShift" is Baxter's debut novel, available from Blade Red Press. "MageSign", the sequel to "RealmShift", is also available through Blade Red Press. Both books are released in print, ebook and Kindle editions worldwide.

Liviu's Note: As I do with all excerpted inquiries/book news sent to FBC, I checked out the sample and liking what I saw, I headed to Smashwords and bought an e-book version of "RealmShift" (multiple formats, un-encrypted, so worth the extra pennies compared to the Kindle edition) .I will try the book sometime soon and review it here if I like it well enough as well as buy the sequel from Smashwords.
